Preserving filter text

[Riaan]

Hey there,

I am listing users in the grid that are part of a domain e.g. Telerik\John.....However, I am finding great difficulty in filtering for values as the user needs to type in two \\ for the search to return correct data. I cannot tel the user to type in two \\ as they would not want that and well, you know users :) So, I tried the onneeddatasource event, onpageload etc to changethe FilterExpression, the problem is, by the time I can access the filterexpression, telerik has already romoved the one \ and it searches for Telerikjohn.

Please help!!!!

i Riaan,

I was also able to replicate the issue on my end. I am not sure why the back slash is getting removed. But i found a work around and here is the code snippet.

CS:

 public string filterText = String.Empty ;
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        foreach (GridFilteringItem filter in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem))
        {
            TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)filter["columnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
            filterText = txtbx.Text;

        }
    }
    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "Filter")
        {
            GridFilteringItem filter = (GridFilteringItem)e.Item;
            TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)filter["columnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
            txtbx.Text = filterText;

        }
    }

Just give a try with the above code and see if it helps.
